In its Boston debut, Canadian contemporary dance company Anne Plamondon Productions explores the body as a source of resilience and beauty in MYOKINE. Secreted by muscles when the body is in motion, myokines are often called “molecules of hope” for the sense of well-being and optimism they provide. For Plamondon, this process symbolizes the healing role of the body when faced with the increasing complexities and troubling issues of our time. It embodies the essential function of dance to release tension, emotion, and anxiety—bringing to life the power of our bodies when united in movement.
